The message, "The universe is calling," is written across the screen and Jodie Whittaker -- who plays the 13th incarnation of the titular time traveler -- is seen smiling.

Whittaker, 36, is the first woman to play the iconic, sci-fi character. She takes over for 60-year-old Peter Capaldi, who left the series after three seasons.

Bradley Walsh, Tosin Cole, Sharon D. Clarke and Mandip Gill have also joined the cast for the new season.
